at last i found some time to work through the pictures of the fieldtrips in march and april! Let's start with the end of march, where i joined my also-herpetophilic croatian friends on their fieldwork with common adders:

The second part makes a trip to the island of Krk. Also fieldwork with the croatian special taskforce for big black ones ;-) Main goal of this trip was to collect data about the occurence of reptile and amphibian species in a certain area.



There we learned: There's nothing more scary than scared horses galopping towards you around midnight. Seriously.. But we also survived it aaand, the most cooles thing, Igor found an alive cat-snake! The cat-snake is like the second holy grail of the croatian herpeofauna, first is the leopard snake, to which we will come later on ;-)

More  soon! Meanwhile - and fitting today saturday evening -  one of the greatest party-songs on the balkans: Dubioza Kolektiv - Marijuana !
